So as I’ve been mentioning I have a new keto buddy because my original keto buddy hit her goal weight and is now just maintaining. My new keto buddy was saying is she needs to go to the gym or else she’ll get all flabby and have skin hanging off and need a tummy tuck.

I’ve seen many keto progress photos where people have lost a lot of weight and are stick thin in their current picture and have captions that read “just eating keto.”

So I guess my question is for people that have lost 100+ pounds is did you guys have an issue with excess skin after the weight loss, we’re you exercising as well.

I’ve lost 75 pounds at this point with hardly any extra exercise and I don’t have any excess skin (my under arms are a little flabby, and the muffin top roll over my lower half is a little flabby but otherwise my body seems to be shrinking nicely with keto.

If anyone wants to share their experience or their advice I’d be happy to hear it.

Kevin told me the WORST news ever yesterday...

He said our low carb tortillas aren’t really low carb!  WHAT.  World shattered.  People of keto, please tell me it isn’t true!  I included the nutrition label above.  I always just subtracted the fiber from carbs and got 6g net carbs.  The packaging even says 6g net carbs!  He was looking at the calories and subtracting calories from fat, carbs, protein, etc and said that it’s not adding up right and it’s closer to 30g carbs.  Say it isn’t so, you know how much I live for these.  

Even after he told me this horrid news I still had a tortilla for dinner, I just felt more guilty about it.  Love it when I get to eat in front of the TV!  I watched the last episode of season two of Queer Eye with dinner and I’m already going through withdrawals.  I need more Fab 5 in my life!  

Guess who went out for a 5 mile walk last night!?  Ya girl.  It was great!!!  I stretched before and after and felt so proud of body!   Aside from paying attention to every.single.step trying to make sure I didn’t overextend my calf it was lovely to get out.  Although, it was stupid gross and humid out.  Thankfully it started sprinkling during my last half hour of the walk which cut the humidity.  

I did wake up to a one pound gain this morning but I’m not sweating it since I’m just so happy I was able to successfully walk last night. I’m sure it’s just my body rebelling against the exercise.  

HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS!!!!  There’s flash flood warnings starting here at 4 p.m. today so we’re shutting down the office at 3:45 p.m. Score!

Sugar and keto

I'm looking into forums and articles about preferred brands of bacon and pepperoni on keto. The brands that everyone suggests all have added sugar. What's the deal? I was under the impression you should avoid sugar on the ingredient list. I found paleo bacon at Whole Foods, which is pretty good but sometimes gives me an upset stomach and is pricy.

Keto question...

I’m currently on day 12 of keto and I’m having a hard time sleeping. I just don’t feel very tired? I haven’t been to bed yet and it’s almost 8AM. I’m not sure if it’s related to keto or if it’s just a coincidence.

Have any of you fellow keto dieters experienced this? If so, what can I do to help it?

Sugar cravings on keto

So I'm halfway through week 3 and all the sudden I am getting really strong sugar cravings.

I'm thinking longingly to the future when in two weeks my husband gets home and will probably eat cookies and that will be my excuse to indulge.

I have not felt this way so far, I've had almost no weird cravings. I've been cutting back on dairy because I think it's been upsetting my stomach. And I don't know if the fat from dairy fills me more that the other kinds.

Any thoughts on these cravings after several weeks.

What do you all use as a low carb binder while making hamburgers?

I want to make some bacon cheese burgers for dinner but I feel like using crushed pork rinds won’t bind it enough and it will just be crumbly and fall apart on the grill.

Thanks! I shouldn't be concerned that the protein is a little low?
